00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:09.000
so I did an unboxing a while back of the Kingston SSD now v+ 180 this is a 64 gig

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:13.360
solid state drive and one of the things I pointed out was quite special about it

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:20.119
is the fact that it's really small so if we compare it to a normal SSD that is a

00:00:16.119 --> 00:00:22.880
2 and 1/2 in SSD well it's very small

00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:28.279
and I also noted in my unboxing that it uses a standard that I'm not familiar

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:31.080
with for its SATA connection so this is

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:35.360
called oh shoot I totally forgot microa yes excellent and I grabbed this cable

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.600
just so that I could show you guys if you ever need to pull data off a 1.8 in

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:45.239
SATA drive and you want or you wanted to let's say you randomly had a 1.8 in SATA

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.559
drive like say for example me and you wanted to be able to test it on a

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:53.120
desktop or or Benchmark it or do whatever else it is you need to do you

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.079
need to get one of these so right here is the micro SATA interface that is

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:00.559
power and data so I'm going to go ahead and plug that

00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:04.400
in just like that okay and then what you have to do is you

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:09.320
have to take a regular SATA plug off your power supply and plug it into the

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:14.799
power so we have now powered up the drive okay no notable status change

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.600
after you power the drive uh because it is an SSD and it doesn't make any noise

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:24.560
and then finally you need to oops if it doesn't slip under your test bench you

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:28.400
need to plug the SATA connector into the motherboard all right and hopefully oh

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:35.560
yeah that was fast look at that so we've already got it ready to use

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:39.200
and oh right we have to actually

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:42.560
uh oh I always forget the most efficient

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.280
way to do this computer manage dis

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:50.880
management there we go here I am fumbling around some tech

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.799
tip okay so we are going to initialize the dis and then we are going to make a

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:59.600
new simple volume assign it to drive letter X for extreme

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:10.160
and then we can view the file so it was that

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.760
simple that's all we had to do I kind of

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:16.319
wish I had some uh files to copy to it or something but we can do that later

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:24.160
anyway that is what is involved in adapting a micro SATA drive such as the

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:27.160
Kingston SSD now v+ 180 to a regular

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:28.959
SATA power and data interface don't

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:33.560
